Analysis of History, Philosophy and the Nature of History in History Education

Abstract

Literally, history means determining the time of events. This word is used in different languages with various meanings. Investigating the impact of philosophy and the nature of history in history education requires, first of all, providing a precise definition of history. A definition that reflects our approaches, expectations and perceptions of that science and specifies its limits and scope. This requires sufficient familiarity with the fundamental concepts of history and a complete understanding of its main and shaping components. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach, seeks to address the importance and impact of the philosophy of history in history education. The philosophy of history seeks to find generalizable laws in similar events and incidents that can be applied in any period and to be able to use the passage of legal historical events to improve the present life and plan for a better future. And how this issue is of great importance in history education.
